ClimateView’s Post

BIG BIG DAY. One hour ago The Transition Elements Framework (TEF) was released as Open Source here at COP29 in the Swedish Pavillion. Link in the first comment Six years of grit, conviction and collaboration took us here. A huge kudos to everyone contributing to date and ahead, and particularly to the fantastic-marvellous-hyper-mega-crew at ClimateView and Tomer Shalit for acing this.   With 135 cities already onboard, 500+ incoming through ICLEI USA and some other big ones soon to be announced, the pudding proof is there and what lies ahead is acceleration. Thank you Mattias Frumerie Pablo Abba Vieira Samper Emani Kumar Erik Korsgren Kirsten Dunlop for your valuable contributions today! What is TEF? Offering 3 levels of explanation: 🧒 Like I’m 5: It’s like when we all play the same game with the same rules—so no one gets confused. TEF is a way for cities everywhere to work together on climate stuff, using the same words and numbers so we all understand each other and make progress faster. 🍲 Dinner party explanation: A system where numbers and words are defined and means the same thing across the world... think of it like the Linneaus system of plants… and with the number and words fixed, we can measure the things that matters, and collaborate like there was no tomorrow across levels of government and geographies. 📚 Dry dinner party: TEF is an ontology and taxonomy based on science and the principles of physics. It is a framework designed to guide cities and governments in implementing climate action by organizing data into four connected parts: Mitigation Compendium: Summarizes IPCC mitigation options for action and their applications Transition Elements: Structures data into measurable, comparable blocks Code: Makes the data accessible in a machine-readable format Data Repository: Provides referenced sources of reliable data supporting the framework’s use Link in the first comment. ONWARDS!
